Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Mobile performance score: 46
46/100Your mobile performance score is 46. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.9 s
A phone's processor spends 5.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,968 HTML elements
The page has 4,968 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
500 ms · 1.5 MB41 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, Shopify and sibforms.com and others), adding 1.6 MB and 660 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
310 ms · 485 KiBAbout 485 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
350 ms · 153 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (153 KiB).
Cookiebot adds 411 ms
411 msCookiebot costs a phone 411 ms of main-thread work and 42 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Font display
400 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 400 ms).
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 57 KiBAbout 57 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 108 ms
108 msShopify costs a phone 108 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 MB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 218 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Duplicated JavaScript
14 KiB14 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

0.002The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.7 MB in 299 requests
4.7 MBYour homepage downloads 4.7 MB in 299 requests on a phone: images 2.3 MB (48), scripts 1.2 MB (83) and other files 856 KiB (120). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Muesli_neu_Slider_Mobil_1.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
2 images far larger than shown
401 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example apple-cinnamon-rolls-bb1.jpg at 1,600 px wide, shown at 212 px. Resized copies would save about 401 KiB.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.34 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.34 g of CO₂e: 160.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
